Which hacker exploits system flaws for personal gain? (Choose the most appropriate option from below)
Answer: C
The hacker who exploits flaws for personal gain is a black hat hacker.
Black hat hackers break into systems without permission and use what they find for profit, theft or damage.
A white hat hacker, also called an ethical hacker, tests systems with the owner's permission and reports the weaknesses so they can be fixed. A grey hat hacker sits in between: they may probe a system without permission, but usually disclose what they find rather than exploit it for gain. That leaves black hat as the only option describing exploitation for personal benefit.
